Hello! I heard you're the guy to go to for chemistry questions.
I have a 36 gallon reef/invertebrate tank (no fish) and I was told that the smaller the tank the harder to maintain steady parameters. I am definitely having trouble. Everything is all good then a few days later something spikes or is too low. I do water changes once a week, unless everything is perfect. I check the salinity and top up every morning. I test at least 2x a week right now.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

What are you testing? What kinds of corals do you have (aka sps, lps, softies)? And what is spiking or dropping for you out of what you are testing?
 

Set it and forget it: Do you change your aquascape as your corals grow?
